Subscriber Special: Preparing for Power – Robin Cook Rock & Roll Politics with Steve Richards
-
- Politics
In this episode I look back at an interview with Labour’s Robin Cook in September 1996, with less than a year to go before the 1997 election. Cook was shadow Foreign Secretary and although he held one of the most senior posts in the shadow cabinet he was not part of the New Labour inner court. In this interview Cook seeks to navigate a line between enthusiasm about a Labour government while retaining his distinctive voice which was to the left of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.
